Her mother panicked and shouted, "We didn't hit her, she fell down on her own!"
Everyone: ...Do you think we are fools?
The ladies grumbled, "How cruel!"
"No wonder this girl wants to break off relations with them!"
"If I had parents like this, I would definitely cut off all ties with them!"
"This girl is so miserable!"
"Why!"
"Poor thing."
Yuchi Xi: ...That’s not what you said before.
Yuchi Xi glanced at the county magistrate, who immediately wrote a letter of severance and asked them to sign it. Her mother was still yelling, "How can a child sever ties with his parents?"
“I can’t write, I can’t write!!”
"Everyone come and see, the county magistrate is trying to take my daughter away!!"
Her mother was lying on the ground and throwing a tantrum. If it were any other day, the county magistrate would also have a headache if he encountered such an old lady, and might even persuade Yi Yi to let the matter go.
But today, since Her Royal Highness the Little Princess is here, he must show his best.
"Can't write? If you can't write, just press your fingerprint!"
"Look at yourself, is what you are doing something human?"
"Look at what you've done to this good girl. How dare you say that? If anyone else were your daughter, they would cut off all ties with you!"
The county magistrate gave a wink to the people he brought over, and they immediately stepped forward to grab her mother, holding her hand and asking her to sign. No one around said anything for her.
Her mother screamed, "Can the county magistrate force people? Is there any justice in this world?"
County Magistrate: ...
The women around couldn't help but speak up for the county magistrate. "You did such a disgusting thing, won't the county magistrate punish you?"
“That’s the lightest thing!!”
"Yiyi, you've really suffered!"
"You kid, why didn't you say it earlier!"
all:……
That's not what you said before.
But she didn't expect that the county magistrate would be so respectful to this young lady. It seems that this young lady is even more capable than she thought.
After she signed the agreement, the county magistrate took the letter of severance and handed it to Yi Yi, saying, "From now on, you won't have to do anything to them anymore."
"What you did before is enough to repay her for raising you."
Yi Yi took the severance letter, her eyes red with joy, "Yes!"
"Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate, and thank you, young lady!"
One by one, they knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the county magistrate and Yuchi Xi. Yuchi Xi dodged and the county magistrate reached out to support her, "Alright, alright, child. I know you've suffered."
"Live a good life in the future."
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "In our Yuan Dynasty, there are subsidies for young girls like you. Come to the government office later and find me. I will give you the subsidy money."
He used a sound that only the two of them could hear, just to prevent others from hearing. Otherwise, what would happen if they all cut off ties with their children to receive the subsidy? How would their Yuan Kingdom develop then?
However, with the hearing ability of Yuchi Xi and the other two, they could hear these words very clearly.
Yi Yi had never thought that the Yuan Kingdom would provide subsidies for people like her. She felt a little warm in her heart and replied "yes" in a low voice.
The county magistrate handled the matter, nodded slightly to Yuchi Xi, and left with his men.
As soon as the county magistrate left, the ladies gathered around and began to comfort them. Yuchi Xi happened to be in line, so he went to the temple.
She walked around the temple and when she came out, she saw Yi Yi waiting for her not far away. When he saw her come out, he immediately trotted over.
"Miss, thank you so much for what you did just now!"
"If you hadn't helped me, I don't know what would have happened in the future..."
"Please accept my greeting!"
Yuchi Xi quickly supported her, "Little sister, don't be like this, it's just a small favor!"
Yi Yi smiled bitterly, "It's because the young lady is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, they would only accuse me of being unfilial."
"Even if I told them that, they wouldn't believe it. If the young lady hadn't called the county magistrate over, I..."
Yuchi Xi stood on tiptoe and patted her shoulder, "Young lady, your future will get better and better."
"Do you have any plans for what you will do in the future?"
Speaking of the future, a smile appeared on her face. "The county magistrate told me that I can go and receive subsidies. Our Yuan Kingdom will provide subsidies to people like me every month."
Yuchi Xi looked at Jing Huaian, confirming with his eyes, "Is that so?"
She hadn't looked closely before.
Jing Huaian nodded slightly, "It was promulgated by Emperor Dewu. It has been in place since Emperor Dewu ascended the throne."
"Emperor Dewu advocated that if parents treated their children badly, the child had the right to sever ties and be raised by the Yuan State."
Yuchi Xi:!!!
Unexpectedly, her father had done such a great feat before!
Yi Fang said this because she wanted to know whether the Yuan Dynasty really had such a law. After all, she was a country girl and didn't get much information. Now that she knew it was true, she was really relieved.
This way she doesn't have to worry about basic survival.
Yuchi Xi accompanied her to the county magistrate's mansion. After receiving the subsidy, she stayed in the town. "I won't go back to the village. Otherwise, if my parents knew I had money, they would try their best to take it away from me."
"I want to leave Laning Village and live somewhere else."
Yuchi Xi agreed with her approach, "You're doing a very good job."
